Now you are probably wondering who were all these people? Here's a refresher on the Jones family line. This is well help show how everyone was connected.

My 3rd great grandparents:

Cesar Jones (b. 1821--d. Aug. 14, 1899) was married to Mary Mitchel Jones (b. Jan. 21. 1823--d. Feb. 22, 1900.)To this union the following children were born.Lewis Oliver Jones (b. Jan. 14, 1838--d. Dec. 28, 1925)Violet Ann Jones Devaughn (b. Oct. 21, 1845--Dec. 2, 1880)Alexander Hamilton Jones(b. Mar. 5, 1852--May 22, 1915)--my 2nd great grandfatherWilliam Henry Jones (b. abt 1852--Oct. 30, 1919)Elizabeth Jones (b. abt 1863--May 17, 1946)Caroline Jones (Currently, I am unsure of when she was born. I believe she died sometime before 1900.)Now back to Elizabeth's will. The relatives listed in it were her nieces and nephews.Louie was actually supposed to be Lovie. Lovie Watson was the daughter of Alexander Hamilton Jones.The following were the children of Lewis Oliver Jones:James E. JonesBenjamin JonesGeorge JonesWilliam JonesThese were the children of William Henry Jones: Elizabeth JonesHenry C JonesCeaser N. JonesHarvey JonesViola Jones was Harvey's daughter.The great thing about this will is that I lost track of the individuals who left Morehead City when they grew up. Here were addresses! At last, they were found.

Maternal Haplogroup Result: L3e3b

Isn't it always the case in genealogy that once something is revealed there's more questions that need to be answered. Well without further ado, here's a screen shot of my AncestryDNA results.

Hmmm. Now the 70% West African matches up perfectly with the result from my first admixture test through AfricanAncestry.

In my head I already had it figured that most of my European ancestry if not all was going to be from England and Ireland. My paternal grandfather was from Barbados so I thought immediately, west African and English. My mother's people I thought had possible Irish ancestry due to the white families that they were associated with during slavery. My DNA from the British Isles came out to be 10%.
